The Rufescent Tiger Heron frequents wetlands from Central America through South America. It is solitary and finds it's food by the water including fish, beetles, crustaceans and dragonfly larvae.
A tiny kingfisher, this adorable little bird is so small and quiet it is often missed. The Pygmy nests in a burrow along the bank of the river, like it's bigger cousins.
A bird with big numbers in the neotropics, this cormorant just caught the fish thrown by the boatman. Our leader would get his camera lined up and then more or less yell "go" and the boatman threw the fish. I am amazed I caught this beautiful picture, as I normally freeze when an animal is in action.
